Brief description Elucidating the physical mechanisms of environment-driven galaxy evolution. The project will tackle one of the most important problems in the field of galaxy evolution: what physical mechanisms are responsible for transforming spiral galaxies into lenticular galaxies within galaxy groups? It will answer this question via advanced optical/radio observations and numerical simulations of such galaxies.
